Once a NEET always a NEET 11

What up my bans of solider, and humble followers, HN Tobi Yaza is trying a new greeting, so leave me your thoughts in the feed.

After hearing how Kazuma just witnessed one of their new friends dying and coming back to life, Sora, Shiro, Shinichi, Myucel, and Elbia decided to come over to check things out and that if everything was alright.

The end result was once everyone got there, they decided to just go out and have a barbecue over at the underpass of the bridge on the far edge of town since the Satou residence was getting a bit crowded.

This of course resulted in an all out group barbecue involving all of Kazuma's new friends as Raphtalia got out of work and brought a crap ton of meet, Stephanie brought in drinks, non alcoholic, and the Reincarnated Battle Front brought in whatever they can.

Truly it was a happy and joyous occasion and something that Kazuma really needed.

"Thanks again guys for going through the effort of pitching up that tent, and generator, and those gaming PC's so that they could play some Rock Band, Devil May Cry 5 or whatever" said Stephanie to TK, Matsushita 5th, and Takamatsu.

"No worries, wished you would've told us those 2, especially the girl, has a problem going and being outside for too long sooner, we would've got this all set up before hand" said Matsushita.

"Try to give us warnings, but everyone ignores 'em, cause nobodies listening" said TK, "I love that song by the way" said Stephanie.

While they continued to chat, Elbia was playing keep away with a soccer ball between Hinata, Raphtalia, Ooyama, Fujimaki and Noda.

"We're gonna get you" said Hinata cheerfully as they all had to cover a lot of ground if they wanted to catch up to Elbia, "No way" said Elbia as everyone still followed suit.

Naofumi was instantly designated to be the head chef with Otonashi, Kanade being his co-cooks.

"Hey Naofumi, how are things looking on those steaks and that monstrosity of a burger your making" said Otonashi as he handed out plates as Kanade was chopping up some veggies.

"This monstrosity is called a hamburger Patton, and trust me when I say you guys will thank me for making this. As for the steaks just another minute now" said Naofumi as rarely anything deters him from cooking.

"So you're the queen to the thrown back home, and your cousin is Captain of your guards" said Yuri as she was chatting with Petralka.

"That's right, and while it sounds like an awesome job, nothing sounds more awesome than being here and being able to meet everyone here" said Petralka.

"I got to admit, there's definitely a colorful bunch of people here lately from different backgrounds, race, and worlds" said Yuri, "I have to agree, so many people and it feels like there's not enough time to meet them all and hang out" said Petralka.

"I guess that true considering you guys go to class and what not" said Yuri, "I've been meaning to ask, why aren't you guys in class like ever" asked Petralka, "Let's just say we have a huge fear of being obliterated".

"Plus we don't need no education" said Yui from the sidelines as she was chatting with Filo and Shiina was just there to be close to Filo.

"Frankly, some of these idiots could gain a benefit from sitting down in class everyone once and a while" commented Yuri to no one.

As this was going on, Kazuma had sat down staring out onto the river as he was deep in concentration.

"You do know it's a party for you" said Naoi as he approached Kazuma who looked at him weirdly, "What" said Kazuma.

"I'm sorry allow me to introduce myself, my names Naoi" said Naoi, "Good to know, names-" began Kazuma with his catch phrase, "Kazuma, I think everyone here knows".

"Ok…" said Kazuma as he felt this conversation was getting awkward, plus it didn't help that Naoi was making a spot for himself next to Kazuma.

"So how are you feeling" asked Naoi, "I'm doing fine I guess" said Kazuma as Naoi turned his left eye at Kazuma.

"That's good to hear" said Naoi before he began to smile as both continued to stare out into the river before them.

"For the record, if you ever feel more sadder than usual, feel free to come to any of us" said Naoi, "Noted" said Kazuma as he let out a light smile as he got the weird vibe that this guy was socially awkward and meant well.

"Hey Naoi, you're not trying to hypnotize Kazuma now are you" called Hinata, "My hypnosis days are over, unless they're consensual" said Naoi.

Before Hinata could say anything else, the soccer ball they were play with went flying and hit him square in the face before he got knocked the fuck down.

"That's for earlier when you had sic Shiina on me you bastard" said Noda, "Then otherwise get Shiina you bastard, also it was Otonashi who got you to shut up" said Hinata as he shot back up on his feet.

"I'm gonna put you both of you idiots down if you both don't start behaving yourselves" said Yuri.

Turning his head, Kazuma could really come to appreciate his new found friends, and truly cherish this moment all together.

And as to what Naoi said, this was his party in an effort to make him feel better, feel loved, feel welcomed by people he can call his friends.

Getting up off his log he was ready to mingle and socialize once more, just as Sora and Shiro opened the flaps to their tent.

"Hey Kazuma come over here along with Naofumi, Otonashi, and Shinichi, we finally got a mod working on Rock Band 4 to play up to 6 players on different instruments" said Sora.

"Yeah give me a minute" said Naofumi as he just finished cooking the Patton burger for Filo as Otonashi began to clean his hands.

"Sure thing guys" said Kazuma as he was handed a mic, as Sora stayed on drums, Shiro on bass, as Shinichi took the guitar, Otonashi on the turntable and Naofumi also on mic.

"So what song are we playing" asked Kazuma, "I figured we play a classic, but first put these on guys, this should compensate for the lack of more or even larger monitor screens" said Sora as he handed them all VR headsets.

As everyone was putting on their headsets, they saw the song in question was 'Pushing Me Away'.

While this went on below the bridge, above everyone else was well, everyone else except for a certain number of people for obvious reasons.

After inquiring what Raphtalia was up to, Chris told Aqua who in turn told her party members, who told their friends what was going on.

While initially thinking about joining them, they didn't want to ruin things for Kazuma who needed this and decided to look over the above on top of the bridge.

Seeing that Kazuma was outside and having fun with his new friends, brought not only joy, but a sense of hope that they'll pull Kazuma out of his shell and his own prison as a NEET.

"He looks so happy" said Emilia with a smile, "He deserves some happiness in life, even if it's for a day like this compared to how he's feeling" said Darkness.

"I still say we should go down there" said Aqua, "And risk getting into a free for all brawl, no thanks" said Tanya.

"Well no sense in sticking around forever, he's alright, well, and finally stepped outside" said Ainz, "Agreed big guy, let's go home everyone" said Subaru as the group all began to head back into town.

Unknown to all of them was a new group not far from where Kazuma and his new friends were hanging out, with it mainly consisting of woman and only one male as he wore a white coat and had his smartphone out.

"Hmm, interesting how in spite of town being all the way over there, there's a bunch of people over there" said Touya skeptically before pocketing his phone away before they all finally stood over the hill top to see what was going on.

"Touya, it looks like they're having a party of some kind" said Sue as this got everyone excited, "Think they'd mind if we joined them" asked Elze as the smell of barbecue and sound of music was getting her attention by the second.

"I don't know, that seems kind of rude don't you think" said Linze, "I have to agree with you" said Yumina.

"How about this, we ask them for directions and what they know about this world, and if we asked kindly and if they're generous enough, they'll give us a bite and be on our way" said Touya.

"I can live with that" said Elze, "You know just to what to say" Yumina before the group ascended to meet the group just as they finished playing the first song.

Elsewhere

Back at the school, we could see the club room to the Reincarnated Afterlife Battlefront was completely destroyed that to call it vandalism would be too kind.

More so we see beaten and battered Takeyama as he was pinned to the walls by arrows.

Outside in the school hallways we see Demiruge was forced to drop on one knee as he was fighting for his life.

"The Major was right in have suspicions that this school was hiding some sort of secret" Demiruge said as he gritted his teeth.

"Surrender devil, and you won't have to suffer like that nerd with a god complexion" said Ram as standing next to her was Motoyasu the spear hero, while not far behind Demiruge was Ren the sword hero and Itsuki the bow hero.

"By all means keep fighting, it's only appropriate for us heroes to fight and kill devils and other monster like abominations. So tell me Ram, how about after this you and me go out for dinner just the 2 of us" said Motoyasu with a wink.

"Tempting" said Ram as she had to admit that Motoyasu was a looker, "Focus people, we're order to detain and keep him alive should he continue to resist" said Itsuki.

"That just makes things harder, but oh well" said Ren as everyone readied their weapons as Demiruge felt trapped like a rat and after finding some interesting information he needed to share with Tanya, who could pass it along to Ainz his Lord, his master.

"Everyone stand down, we'll take things from here" came the voice of Vanir as Wiz walked alongside with him.

"Demiruge from one handsomely wise devil to another like moi, this is your last chance to surrender peacefully" said Vanir.

"And you expect me to believe after you already killed a student just not so long ago" said Demiruge, "Ah, but that boy and his friends are immortal, unlike you who can die" said Vanir tauntingly as this was already thinning out Demiruge's patience.

"I'll see you all in hell" said Demiruge as he lunged forward to continue his fight for escape.

Overlooking this was Von General and principle Kurt as he felt ashamed but had to do actions such as these for reasons or protection and keeping secrets, even if it meant harming his students.

Closing the curtain he poured himself a fresh glass of wine to calm his nerves and conscious since not that far from the school laid the Destroyed that had been defeated for the 2nd, but not the last time.

Especially given those reports from the school newspaper club about spotting someone was true.

Whoever they are, nobody knows, other than this shadowed figure was definitely female as evident by her bodacious silhouette figure as she held in her hands a photo of Kazuma with care.

"Soon you and I shall be united again master" she said with a giggle as we pan our way out of the Destroyer, knowing full well that hard times and hard love is ahead for our boy Kazuma.

She's into superstitions, new kinks and candle lights, I feel a premonition, that girl's gonna make me fall.
